Camera companies are very closed mouthed with technical information on
their chips. There are bits and pieces of info out there but it takes
some work to collect it.

For example it took me about three years to find out that the chip in
my oly 3020 is the same chip that is used in the coolpic 990, that it
doesn't have a conventional RGB sensor but rather a complementary CMY
sensor--one of the reasons it is such a good lowlight camera-- and
once you discover the undocumented secrets of it raw mode you end up
with files using the NEF format not the ORF format.

The flip side of this is if you do the reseach you are going to end up
know a lot more about your camera
